At the crossroads of ideology and transformation, USSR: Reorganisation and Renewal presents a compelling insider's account of the sweeping reforms that shook the Soviet Union to its foundations during the Gorbachev era. Edited by eminent Soviet economist Leonid Abalkin, this landmark volume chronicles the structural, economic, and political upheavals of perestroika, drawing on contributions from leading Soviet thinkers and policymakers to construct a panoramic vision of a superpower in the throes of reinventing itself. Abalkin, one of the USSR's most respected economists and a key architect of late-Soviet reform policy, argues with clarity and conviction for a new model of socialist governance — one that acknowledges the systemic failures of the past while charting a course toward renewal. Published by Progress Publishers in Moscow, this volume stands as both a primary historical document and a fascinating ideological artefact, offering the reader an authentic Soviet perspective on events that would ultimately reshape the modern world. For anyone seeking to understand the internal logic — and the ultimate contradictions — of the Soviet reform project, this text remains an indispensable and deeply thought-provoking resource.
